main zakhm-e-dar-badari khaa ke lauT aauun jab — Salim Saleem

main ghaTtaa jaa rahaa huun apne andar
tumhein itnaa ziyaada kar liyaa hai

is dil mein chubhaa rahtaa thaa kaanTe ki tarah vo
ik roz use main ne mohabbat se nikaalaa

kitne bekaar khudaaon ki ibaadat ki hai
aakhiri baar kisi but se shikaayat ki hai

aa rahaa hogaa vo daaman se havaa baandhe hue
aaj khushbu ko pareshaan kiyaa jaaegaa

charaagh-e-ishq badan se lagaa thaa kuchh aisaa
main bujh ke rah gayaa us ko havaa banaane mein

sunaa hai chaand ko uljhaa liyaa hai shaakhon ne
so ab charaagh darichon pe rakh diye jaaein

na tum hosh mein ho na ham hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein vahin baat hogi

kisi ke zakhm par chaahat se paTTi kaun baandhegaa
agar bahnein nahin hongi to raakhi kaun baandhegaa

sau fasaad ek ishq mein uTThe
boyaa ik tukhm uge hazaar darakht

khair dozakh mein mai mile na mile
shaikh-saahab se jaan to chhuTegi

ishq phir ishq hai aashufta-sari maange hai
hosh ke daur mein bhi jaama-dari maange hai

khudaa ke haath hai biknaa na biknaa mai kaa ai saaqi
baraabar masjid-e-jaame ke ham ne ab dukaan rakh di
